RCMP commissioner cited pressure from public safety minister on Nova Scotia shooting probe: Officer

Global News published this video item, entitled “RCMP commissioner cited pressure from public safety minister on Nova Scotia shooting probe: Officer” – below is their description.

A scathing letter from an RCMP communications manager released Tuesday says RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki referred to direct pressure from the federal public safety minister to release firearm details in the days after the Nova Scotia mass shooting.

It’s the second such claim by an RCMP official who was on an April 28, 2020, conference call in which Lucki criticized Halifax staff, nine days after the rampage that resulted in 22 deaths.

The letter from Lia Scanlan dated April 14, 2021, claims the RCMP’s leader focused on the Liberal government’s agenda of passing firearms legislation during the hastily arranged meeting. Callum Smith reports.
